Sam Smith, publisher of The Pregressive Review, talked with me (Chuck) about what happens now, after the election. We discussed the importance of local initiatives to third (or fourth or fifth) parties.

Sam brought up electoral fusion, in which a single candidate may run for more than one party. It seems this concept was widely used in the late 19th / early 20th Century era. The ‘major’ parties found it a threat to their stranglehold on power, and managed to eliminate in most places.
